Navitas proposes a novel approach to produce high energy, high power lithium batteries.Our innovative approach produces multilayer electrodes with gradient pore structure throughout the thickness of the electrode. Phase I results showed that the graded electrode structure enhanced lithium ion transport. The innovative electrodes were fabricated using water-based coating process. Phase I individual ...

Normal aircraft braking is achieved through a process of reverse thrust and a system of hydraulically activated brakes located on the main wheels of the aircraft. These friction based systems offer limited performance benefits including reduced braking capabilities due to brake fade, thermal loading issues, and generally higher operational, maintenance, repair and overhaul costs over the life cycl ...

In current Air Force ISR operations, human analysts are required to gather, process, and disseminate large amounts of ISR data.Team coordination is relatively simple when an ISR mission is proceeding normally; however, when something goes wrong or an interesting event occurs, individual human team members can become overwhelmed. Our PED-Savant system consists of a suite of algorithms designed to s ...

United States Air Force Supply Chain Management (SCM) processes are based upon repairable parts demand, such as Shop Replaceable Units (SRU) and Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA), and not Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). The rule of repair being 75% of the asset cost drives many assets to be repaired many times over the lifecycle of the item. Specifically, if the estimated repair cost is < 75% of the ...

The Air Mobility Command (AMC) is responsible for shipping approved air cargo anywhere in the world at a moments notice to support warfighter requirements. In order to meet this need, airmen must be able to rapidly, effectively, and efficiently palletize cargo, frequently on 463L pallets, to prepare them for shipping. However, due to the configuration needs, weight difference, and varying sizes, t ...

SpaceWorks Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) seeks government support for the development of a multi-disciplinary autonomous munition simulation and optimization model. The proposed software development would determine optimal guided munitions designs for a given mission scenario, maximizing desired metrics of interest, while preserving design robustness. A flexible and adaptable software architecture would ...

This proposal describes 6 technologies that will function synergistically to greatly enhance both production and sustainment operations, by verifying part and tool use and storage, task completion, and FOD prevention.DSC proposes to develop and demonstrate a Digital Process Inspection Verification (DPIV) that displays point of use, step-by-step assembly guidance instructions while verifying and do ...

For predicting galvanic corrosion finite element analysis (FEA) is a good approach, but far too slow and complex for widespread use. Corrdesa proposes to build on the experience and software that we have developed, to create a modern trade tool based correctly on galvanic corrosion current, not galvanic potential tables.Corrdesa is at the forefront of galvanic corrosion modeling, and has developed ...

Degradation of specialty materials and structures due to damage or normal wear needs early detection to ensure an aircraft is fully mission-ready. The resistive layer or R-card, which is of interest in this topic, is subject to degradation over time through oxidation/aging, fuels or oils exposure, temperature cycling, and even physical damage such as bird-strike. This proposal addresses the need f ...

Current Class 1 UAS technology relies on Line of Sight (LOS) Wi-Fi which operates across unlicensed wireless bands. Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) technology represents a huge advancement to the already widespread commercial UAS global community. BVLOS uses the mobile cellular network to provide command and control to the devices, removing the cost and technical barriers for near global cover ...
